So I had a ladies brunch to go to yesterday and I decided to take each person one of these adorable little treat boxes! I filled them with candy hearts and set one box on each place. They loved them!

For the boxes I used the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper. The boxes were cut with the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies. I’ve shown you these boxes before and really like them ~ they are for way more than Valentine’s Day!! You can use them to hold lots of small gifts or treats. I’m thinking a tea bag would fit really well too!

Lots to Love Box Framelits DiesItem No. 145653

This beautiful color I’ve used for the hearts is Berry Burst, one of my current favorite Stampin’ Up! colors. And the ribbon, oh my gosh, I love it, Metallic Edged no less 🙂 These boxes are seriously a snap to make, and I like being able to make a gift quickly, like a hostess gift. You will love them.

Thank you for stopping by today! I love your comments, please leave me a note and let me know what you think of today’s post 🙂

Have you seen the Party Pandas? Oh my gosh they’re darling, an adorable stamp set of cute little pandas just waiting for you to stamp them on a card! This is one of our Sale-a-Bration sets that you can get free with your $50 order.

Because pandas are black and white, I used a black and white stripe as a background paper.

Pretty Pointer: Brighten up any card with a “pop” of color! Lemon Lime Twist is a great color to use. You can see how it really make a difference on this card 🙂

The reason this is a great stamp set is that it has both the pandas AND some sentiments. For my card today I’ve used the “Love You” sentiment, but you could also make a birthday card or a hello card! This makes the set versatile.

Why a purple Valentine? Well, purple is the color of the year for 2018 and I’ve been waiting for just the right card to use it. AND, I want to send it to one of YOU!

These hearts were created with the Heart Happiness stamp set. It’s a great set – full of hearts of all sizes and patterns!

Heart Happiness15 Photopolymer StampsItem No. 145769 $17

This stamp set is great because each heart is so different. It gives you lots of options, I love that! For this card I’ve used two of the hearts in the set. The striped heart is stamped with Elegant Eggplant ink, and the sweet floral border heart is stamped with the same ink, but on a background watercolored with Wisteria Wonder ink and splattered with Elegant Eggplant ink.

The sentiment I’ve used is from the Petal Palette stamp set (CLICK HERE to view). This set has some great sentiments in great fonts. What I like about this sentiment is that it works for any type of card. It can be a Valentine card for a friend, or just any type of card for a friend…or a loved one, husband or boyfriend.

I’m very excited to share with you
My January Favorite Bundle!

January is the time to make Valentines! And my favorite Bundle this month is the Sure Do Love You Bundle! Why? Well, for several reasons:

I LOVE the trendy slender-shaped heart stamp and coordinating die.

I LOVE the treat box die (the photo on the left shows the front of the box). It’s slim, like a Valentine candy heart box.

I LOVE the other heart and banner stamps and dies because they can be used year round.

WHY a Bundle? Well, the stamp set is wonderful, but with the coordinating framelits it’s REALLY WONDERFUL! I mean, who wants to fussy cut the hearts and banner? It’s SO much easier with the framelits. AND, with the framelits you get the adorable valentine box! Who can resist that?

Welcome to the Pals January 2018 Blog Hop. Our theme this month is “From the Heart” featuring heartfelt projects like Valentine’s Day, Thinking of You, Get Well and Sympathy. Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

From the heart…it just seems that the best thing you can say to another person – from your heart – is “you are loved.” And that’s what today’s card is all about. You can say this to a friend, to a lover, to a child, these are wonderful words for anyone to receive.

The words on this card were created with a die from the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies (FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration) which created the Real Red “YOU,” and the Labeler Alphabet Stamp Set which was used to stamp the words “ARE LOVED.”

The words created with the Labeler Alphabet stamps are set on a heart from the Sure Do Love You stamp set. And of course for a valentine you have to have a doily!! This is a Metallic Foil Doily turned upside down so that it’s a white doily!

It’s all set on a background watercolored with Pool Party ink and tied with a sweet bow of Silver Baker’s Twine!
